That mindset likely lay at the root of my fascination with architecture. Thinking in clean lines, abstract shapes, and sometimes an uncompromising, brutalist rigidity. <\/p>\n

Combining that 3D grid with a camera turned out to be a perfect match. To this day, I walk through every space with that imaginary grid in front of me.
\nI move along the three different axes in the grid. Should I raise the camera, or shift slightly to the left? Or should I step forward and literally dive deeper into the project? Does anything blur together in the composition, is everything clearly distinguishable?[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h1″ text_font=”font-558840″ text_size=”custom” text_weight=”500″ text_space=”fontspace-781688″ uncode_shortcode_id=”146368″ heading_custom_size=”20″]<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t take a photograph, you make it. That\u2019s always the aim. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”976147″]Over 20 years and hundreds of projects later, across every imaginable category. Assignments at home and abroad, for architects, interior designers, property developers, and many other companies in the design and construction world. <\/p>\n

Endless time and dedication went into all their work. Everything was thought out down to the smallest detail. Who am I, then, to shoot careless photos? No, every image gets the attention it deserves. <\/p>\n

Higher, lower, a step forward. And equally important: solid post-processing. Only then are the photographs built to last.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h1″ text_font=”font-558840″ text_size=”custom” text_weight=”500″ text_space=”fontspace-781688″ uncode_shortcode_id=”558097″ heading_custom_size=”20″]<\/p>\n
